Spring Education Program

Redefining Dining: Food and Beverage Service Post COVID-19
11:30 a.m. -1 p.m.
Thursday, May 13
Location: Virtual

Whether it’s shared during education, networking or casually, a central point of the attendee experience is the food served at a meeting or event. With the increasing distribution of vaccines, the easing of gathering restrictions, and the arrival of warmer weather, the return of meetings, events and travel is on the horizon. With more and larger assemblies, comes the need and the expectation of keeping attendees' palates satisfied as well as prioritizing their safety. Join us for an engaging panel exchange on the immediate future of the food and beverage industry, as we look forward to meeting and traveling in the coming months. During this session, our panelists will discuss: • new considerations when planning food and beverage and service for meetings as a result of COVID • the effect of these changes on service and culinary teams and how what that means for planners and suppliers • how to maintain sustainability initiatives in light of increasingly disposable and individual serving styles • what long-term effects and attendee behavior changes we can expect We look forward to seeing you virtually for the panel and networking immediately following the session.
